[2021-02-04 08:41:16] [Robert Garry] And, in my opinion, the "Science Guy" is a tool. [2021-02-04 09:05:34] [Kristian Andersen] He always has been... [2021-02-04 09:19:21] [Robert Garry] As for Angie - I think that she's blown her chance to have Yurie cryopreserve her Pug's head --- you know --when the time comes.... [2021-02-04 10:19:34] [Robert Garry] Updated Fig. 2, which is basically a summary of the amino acid level similarities of he new BatCoVs that I think need highlighting. Similar in effect to the domain level trees Andrew did for Boni2020 [which would be good to see as well]. Still may need some tweaking (just like the COVID vaccines).

[shared file(s): image.png] [2021-02-04 15:44:40] [Eddie Holmes] Thanks Bob! [2021-02-04 15:46:55] [Eddie Holmes] Oh, your remember that weird BGI submission to EBI in mid-December 2019? It transpires that EBI just assign these slots randomly in advance...they have nothing to do with the date when the sequences were sent. So, there is nothing weird here at all. [2021-02-04 15:49:13] [Kristian Andersen] Ahhhh. Last mystery solved then - I did find that really weird. [2021-02-04 15:58:33] [Andrew Rambaut] That's what they would say [2021-02-04 16:16:49] [Eddie Holmes] Yes. Have noticed that 'BGI' and 'EBI' share two letters and are both 3 letter words like CCP and CDC. Staring us in the face! [2021-02-04 16:19:37] [Andrew Rambaut] Got contacted by a guy called Jon Gertner at NYT who is writing an article about the golden years of virus gen epi and the Oxford group - apparently he has talked to you Eddie. Is interested in all the conversations at the Turf. [2021-02-04 16:20:22]
